For the past few years it’s been Vevo’s mission to unite impressive new voices with the audiences they deserve. Our annual dscvr: Artists to Watch list does just that, choosing 20 genre-spanning acts we believe will have an impact in the future, and spotlighting their talent in a variety of ways. At the heart of the program is an exclusive performance. Each of these artists are captivating live acts, and their personalities truly emerge when they’re putting their passion front and center, bringing a song to life on stage.
Our 2018 edition adds more elements to the equation in hopes of digging deeper into the music. We’ve done candid interviews with each of our choices as well as some of the people who know them best. The results drive a series of video profiles that help contextualize the wealth of inspirations and aspirations shaping their careers. The pieces are enhanced by written bios, portrait photography, and informal images that capture the artists in an array of situations. When you’re done checking the complete package, you’ll have a great feel for the kind of personal chemistry and varied interests that mark their work, and a much stronger connection with the music at hand. That’s where the thrill of discovery always begins.
